Part 2/9:
The narrative begins with a mother who, while indulging in the quiet joys of everyday life, turns to find her kitchen—and the world around her—shrouded in a disconcerting blackness. The sudden realization that her home appears to have suffered a catastrophic fire ignites immediate panic as she searches for her daughter. To her shock, she discovers that her six-year-old has reverted to her three-year-old self, and the home has reverted to its former state. Outside, onlookers witness the strange phenomenon, with the building looking as it did three years prior when a fire had indeed occurred.
